Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7 - Organized into chapters written in a breezy style, with lots of color plus black-and-white, captioned photos and sidebars of related trivia, these books are further divided by red subheadings. Intertwined with a historical overview of changes in auto technology, Abraham's text explores related subtopics like the car business and the auto's impact on vacationing. Photos range in quality; a spread of an SUV is trapped in the book's gutter. Televisionturns to the history of the media, tracing developments through the digital age. Art takes readers on a tour of styles popularized in the U.S. Fine refers to such artists as Marcel Duchamp, Charles Demuth, Jackson Pollock, and Andy Warhol; unfortunately the references are brief with only a few accompanying images of the artistic works. These books may catch the interest of readers needing high-interest/low-vocabulary materials. - Lynn K. Vanca, Akron-Summit County Public Library, Richfield, OH
